2022 day 4

Day 4

Day 4 warmed up a bit. And not a bit too soon for me. It was still chilly, but up in the 40s. And that gave me a little bit of time to get things straightened up outside. I still haven’t gotten the tulip bulbs in, but that is coming…next warm spell.

I have been doing well on the buy nothing for 100 days.. but that has been a challenge. I seem to be inundated with ads on social media, and emails, and push notifications. The yarn sales are the worst… such lovely hanks from small hand dyers… or the beautiful Noro that is on sale for a ridiculous price. 96 days to go. Getting rid of 100 things has been a lot easier!

Also… I started Duolingo a few days ago, on the second. So I guess I am adding that to the new habits I am cultivating, as I have been doing it every day. Always good to brush up on a second language — so I am going with Spanish. But I also might do Latin….

And I made a little video of all the shots I needed to take… just to try to get one! I use a tripod with a bluetooth clicker for my phone.n Super good deal, and on sale now for under $17!

For those of you new to this blog …I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& — Same dress. 100 days. Details are on tracywearswool.com. I am also taking the same 100 days to make some additional positive changes to develop daily habits in writing, art, knitting and eating better. I will also be not buying anything but essentials, and giving away an item for each of the 100 days.

JANUARY 4, 2022 – DAY 4

I had a bunch of cleaning to get done today, so I put on my Willow, and a denim apron on top. I also tried out my new FORAGER POUCH that I ordered last year…before the challenge. It attaches to my belt and folds up when not in use. Great purse alternative. Or dog bags. I LOVE it!

I also did a little drawing… but when will i remember not to use pens that bleed with watercolor. UGG! Colored pencils to the rescue.

Winsor & Newton watercolor paints, and my favorite little Pentalic 3 x 4″ Pocket Sketchbook Traveler Journal.

Here is a close-up of my FORAGER POUCH… perfect for carrying my sock project.

Today’s giveaway was a Chewbacca talking candy dispenser. Matches the Yoda from yesterday. Hope someone likes it!

Thanks for joining me on day 4 of my #tracywearswool & new habits journey.

Stay tuned for the next 96 days!

Rainey says goodnight!
